As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported, all 20 fighters made weight for the event. Photos of the fighters weighing in can be found below.

As usual, a solid crowd — well into the thousands — attended the event.

The event wasn’t strictly business, though.

Local fighter Dustin Hazelett nearly tripped on his way up the steps, which prompted some giggles. However, when he turned around and revealed the back of shirt, the giggles turned roars of laughter. The message? “I’m not Jon Fitch, so quit asking.” (Check out the photos below; there’s definitely a resemblance between the two.)

Andrei Arlovski and Chris Leben received surprisingly large ovations while the boos for Diego Sanchez were downright baffling (when did he become such a villain?). The indifference toward Evan Tanner was disappointing; did he spurn old-school fans with his long absence, or did the event simply draw a ton of new fans who aren’t familiar with the former champ and fan favorite?

Additionally, if Friday’s reaction to Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson is an indicator, tonight’s main event should be electric.
